The goal was to encourage attendance from cannabis enthusiasts and the “canna-curious” alike. Join us for a full entertainment lineup in addition to educational sessions., veteran’s outreach, and community outreach.

Photography

I was not allowed a “photo pass”, so I became paparazzi! Enjoyed every moment, however, acting as a “Travel Advisor”, promoting travel to the region, I think that the organizers should rethink this option.

Anyway, because of my stealth-like plan, I had to change my shooting approach and equipment. Some photos were shoot from a distance. (Some from the upper level of the Hardrock Casino parking lot across the street)

All photos were taken with my first-generation trusty Z6. Other equipment included: Nikkor 18-300mm, DX zoom lens, 2x Nikon teleconverter, and 24-70 mm Tamaron 2.8 full-frame lens.
